Re: 2016 regional dates?
Just got this in an e-mail today:
Quote:
Arizona will hold two FRC Regional Events in 2016. There will not be a regional event at Hamilton HS in Chandler in 2016.
o FRC Arizona North Regional
Northern Arizona University
Flagstaff, Arizona 86011-6026
March 10-12, 2016
o FRC Arizona West Regional
Grand Canyon University
3300 W Camelback
Phoenix Az, 85017
April 7-9, 2016

Neither Arizona competition will conflict with Las Vegas this year which is awesome news for the mountain region. The new North Regional is early enough relative to Vegas that all the teams in the Northern AZ/Nevada/Utah area should have a much easier time attending multiple events.
The West Regional is going to have its hands full with it being the only event in Phoenix. It could barely handle the ~30 teams there last year, the pit setup is going to have to get really creative to meet the demand that East usually had. Either that or a number of Phoenix teams are going to be traveling to NAU...
